Year of Changes and It's only March

First change since the last post, I'm 27 aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!! I had a good birthday spending it with my love and a few friends.

Next is today is our 4th Anniversary!!!!! Time sure does fly when you are having fun! Unfortunately Brett is gone all month at drill :( That means he has missed 2 years in a row. Gotta love the Army ;) I'm so grateful to be his wife and I couldn't be any more happier.

Other changes... Well, Brett and I got the changes we were looking for in our professional lives. For me I now have my own office, WHOOP!!!! Can not be more excited about this. My last officemate was extremely difficult to get along with. I also had some duty changes as well. Before I was doing accounts payable, 1/2 of payroll (i.e. Biweekly), human resources, and inventory. The changes are that now I do not do accounts payable and handle all of payroll (i.e. Monthly AND Biweekly which is about 400 people). I'm totally loving it.

As for Brett, turns out he is not leaving his reserves unit just yet. During his drill in February his unit announced they are going on deployment at the end of the year to Afghanistan. You guessed, we are going through our first deployment!!!! What am I going to do while he's gone, you ask? Well, I'm stickin around B/CS. Why move when I have a good home, job, and support system in the area? Also, my parents and Jones/Johnson family are just 2-3 hours north and my brothers are 1-1.5 hours south.

So the next several months we are going to be focusing on getting ready (as much as one can) for the big "D", as my best friend Jessica Payne puts it. :)
